the prince OF good fellows in his opinion, he
was not the man who would suit the people
for the position of public examiner, and he
thought Gov. Church took the right step
when he withdrew his name from the coun-
Gil and substituted that of E. S. Tyler. The
doctor was the father of the railroad bill that
was found to be missing on the last night of
the session, and charges were made on the
floor in the heated debate that followed the
discovery that he had beeen induced to with
draw it, and it could be found in the bottom
OF his wifes trunk. In regard to this the
doctor isn't saying a word. Grand Forks got
within about $1,000 of the appropriations she
asked, and he is comparatively happy.
~
During the run of conversation, DR.. Collins
gave it out that eX-Gov. Gil Pierce was
elected president of the Grand Forks uni
versity, as intimated by the GLOBE, before
the legislature adjourned. The election OF
the ex-governor had actually taken place
by the old board of trustees. and needed only
to be ratified by the new board, which would
probably do SO without a dissenting voice.
This will make a very soft nest for the ex-
governor to lie down in. as DR.. Collins said
when the bin providing for the appropriation
for the maintenance of the university was
drawn up, it was calculated that So, 600 per
year would be devoted to the payment of
President Perce's salary. This was with the
understanding that the ex-governor should
remove his family from Bismarck to Grand
Forks, and this, the doctor says, Pierce had
agreed to do. 1t is intimated that the ex-
governor, in connection with his duties as
president of the North Dakota university, will
perform some newspaper work, and that the
headquarters of the Dakota department of
the daily paper that he represents will be
taken from Bismarck to Grand Forks, which
is great distance from the news center Of
that territory. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Pierce
is drawing q salary of $1,000 per annum from
the paper he represents, for the column and
a quarter of double loaded BREWER
editorial paragraphs that he fur
nishes it week, and this salary,
coupled with the emolument of the university
presidents Office, will give him an income
that will enable him to live sumptuously.
Outside of his regular income, it is limited
that the citizens of Grand Forks will cOntrib-
nte literally to his exchequer if he will make
his journalistic headquarters in that city. 1t
is the general impression that the wbilom
governor of Dakota is bent ON laying up
treasures for himself on earth and will use
his newspaper representation to further his
ends financially and politically.

There is much speculation as to who viii be
the next treasurer Of Dakota, among the Da-
koIans now stopping in the city aud among
these men the subject is one of interesting
discussion. Some have the impression that
ex-Treasurer Raymond will be re-apponted.
but this is not the opinion of the majority
who express themselves on the subject. In
conversation with a GLOBE representative
yesterday prominent citizen of the
territory said that, In his estimation, the
most promising man for that Office was
John d. Lawler. of Mitchell. Mr.. Lawler was
a member of the last council, and is an active
Democrat. He is u banker, represents the
interests of the Milwaukee road, in which his
father is heavy StOckholder, and is a thor
ough business man. In the last legislature
Mitchell got the cold shoulder. In her at
tempt TO get the United States court from
Yankton she was badly defeated, and it was
noticeable fact that whit Mentzer, the
Mitchell representative in the house, fought
tooth and nail for this measure, and carried
it through his branch Of the legislature, Law
Ter sat in the council with no more apparent
interest in the issue than that evinced by the
| most careless spectator in the LOBBY. In his
selection for treasurer, Dakota's new gov
ernor could hardly make an appointment
that would be more satisfactory to repreSen-
tative Democrats and the people OF the terri
tory at large than John D. Lawler. He is a
brother of w. d. Lawler, assistant United
States district attorney of st. Paul, and q
son-in-law of Gen. Sturgis, now retired from
service.

City Attorney Dodge, of jamestown, Oak
has been in the City several days, quartered
at the Clarendon, accompanied by Mrs. Dodge
and the babies. Mr.. Dodge was one OF the
most active members of the territorial coun-
Gil and got mixed up in several hard battles
with much older heads than his, but he never
failed to come out on the top of the heap. He
won the title of Adonis by his gentlemanly
manners and Apollo Belvidere figure. Dodge
went there to guard the interests of the
jamestown insane asylum, and he came
away with his hair full of plumes and honors
heaped high upon him. He secured the big
gest appropriations made aud had the SUI
fiSF NJ ha
asked for. This disgruntled some of the less
successful petitioners for territorial funds,
and they charged Dodge with getting a foot
bold in the favor of the governor by promis-
ing him that he would stand by him through
thick and thin if he would give him what
money he asked for for the jamestown
asylum. However this may be, Dodge got
there, and came away from Bismarck with
brighter colors than any other member of the
council. On the night that DR.. Stewart tried
to pass his soldiers home bill over the gov
errors veto Dodge was fast asleep in his
char when the clerk called for his vote. The
clerk yelled his name twice but Dodge refused
to wake up and the bill was lost. AS soon as
the vote was counted and the governors veto
declared sustained, Dodge lifted his head,
rubbed his eyes and said to the coupcilmen
near him: Boys. let's have bottle of wine
on the JimtOwn appropriation. They had
the wine. Mr.. Dodge and his family left for
home last night.

without the desired effect, and he was about
to give up in despair, when one day aguest
advised him to use gin and salt. Anxious to
get growth of hair. he tried it. and when
two months later the guest asked him If he
had tried the gin and salt. he said yes. but it
was the d-St stuff he ever drank.
AT this the guest fell down on settee and
laughed till he perspired.

Mac.
tWhy you don't want to drink it." said the
a:'est between gasps, ''bathe your head in it,

ing gin and salt would make hair grow on the
top Of your head?
Still ambitious Mac applied the gin and
salt to his bleak and barren sc alp, and as a
result he now has a wonderfully fine crop of
silken hair.
Yesterday a travelling man. whose hair had
thnned out considerably and who had not
! seen Mac since last summer when his hair
was short, came up to the Ryan register, and
shaking hands with Mac, drew him Off TO enc
side and said in low tone:
'.Wbere did you get it, Mac? I want one
just like it and / don't care d--n how much
it costs, either"
"What do you mean?'' inquired Mac.
''Why that head of hair. It's the most
